Auto-Loading
The options on this page allow you to prevent Opus from
automatically loading certain types of folders (e.g. when a Lister opens, it
will normally automatically load a folder).
This can be very useful if you have Opus set to re-open the last location
when it runs, or to open a specific Lister layout that displays network drives
or another slow drive type. It stops Opus from attempting to automatically read
the specified types of folders when a Lister first opens. For example, you could
have a layout that reads a network drive - with this option on, opening that
layout would not automatically connect to the network drive, but instead you
will be prompted to click a link in order to read the folder.
- CD-ROM/DVDs: Folders located on CDs and DVDs will not be
automatically loaded.
- Drives that are powered down: Hard drives that are in
sleep mode (have powered down) will not be automatically loaded. This stops
Opus from waking them up until you manually read the folder.
- Floppy discs: If you still use floppy discs for some
reason, this option stops them being automatically loaded.
- FTP sites: Connections to FTP sites will not be
automatically reconnected until you manually load the folder.
- Network drives: Folders located on network drives will
not be automatically loaded.
- Removable devices: This applies to things like USB thumb
drives and some (but not all) external hard drives.
- Zip files and other archives: Irrespective of the device
they reside on, archives will not be automatically loaded.
